Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic legacy in Brazil

Overview

Ten years after the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games, Brazil continues to utilize the event's legacy through athlete training and cultural initiatives.

The Brazilian Olympic Committee (COB) maintains several key venues, including the Maria Lenk Aquatic Park and the Artistic Gymnastics Training Center. Since 2019, the COB has invested over R$ 60 million in renovations at the aquatic complex, which is expected to serve 1,365 competitors across 46 disciplines in 2026. The gymnastics center also receives annual funding for equipment to support prominent national athletes.

Simultaneously, the Brazilian Paralympic Committee (CPB) is marking the ten-year anniversary of the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games with public engagement efforts. These include bringing historic medalists to the Rock in Rio festival to increase visibility and hosting a commemorative exhibition at the Brazilian Paralympic Training Center in São Paulo. The exhibition features original artifacts such as medals, torches, and uniforms.
